What construction working hours and noise rules apply?
Check the construction hours and noise requirements for the property with the approval authority or council before scheduling work. State or territory environmental rules may also apply. Do not assume that working within usual hours allows unreasonable noise. Give contractors the applicable conditions and a contact for complaints. Investigate a neighbour's concern against the actual rules; the complaint alone does not determine whether a breach has occurred.
